looking for a job in community organizing, theater, or education

Hey y'all, got a friend looking for a job in the area--"community organizing, theater, or education job not in a school or in a school" (her description).  Anybody know of jobs on offer, or good places to look for these things?  Leave a comment or msg me--thanks!!

EDIT:  She's finishing up her MS thesis on making arts education in public schools financially sustainable.  I'm afraid I don't know much about her work history, tho.

Police activity yesterday?

Not sure who may have been around (not all of us had the day off!) but yesterday around 12:30pm there were what seemed like a dozen or more police cars screaming up Broadway in Winter Hill, towards Ball Square. I waited to see if the SN or SJ would have any news, but nothing so far.

Since I'm a nosy lookey-loo, I was wondering whether anyone here might know what was going on?

Paid Meter, Got Ticket Anyway - What Gives??

What if you paid a fee to the city, and they gave you no receipt. Then they said they never received payment and charged you 50 times the amount in a penalty? That's what happened when I parked at a meter in Somerville and got a ticket anyway. Of course there is no way to prove that I paid since I didn't get a receipt for filling the machine with quarters. I sent a very descriptive letter explaining what happened and noting that the parking meter person must have made a mistake. Of course it is my word against his or hers and so my appeal was denied.

Do I need to photograph the meter every time that I use it, just in case?
